Answer:

  A The line segments are parallel, and the image is twice the length of the given line segment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilation by a factor of 2 means any measure of the image is 2 times the corresponding measure of the original.

Dilation does not change any orientations, so the image will have the same orientation with respect to the origin, axes, or any other line segments. That means the dilated segment is parallel to the original. (If the center of dilation is <em>on</em> the original line segment, the dilated segment will overlay the original segment. That is specifically <em>not</em> the case here.)

Determine the factors of 3x2 + 10x − 8. (Which is the right answer?)
VMariaS [17]

ANSWER

(3x  - 2)(x + 4)

EXPLANATION

The given quadratic trinomial is

3 {x}^{2}  + 10x - 8

Comparing to the general quadratic trinomial:

a{x}^{2}  + bx  + c

We have a=1, b=10 and c=-8

ac =  3  \times  - 8 = - 24

The factors of -24 that adds up to 10 are -2 and 12.

We split the middle term to obtain;

3 {x}^{2}   + 12x   - 2x- 8

Factor;

3x(x+ 4)  -  2(x + 4)

Factor further;

(3x  - 2)(x + 4)

The last option is correct.
